What is the connection to World Diabetes Day?
The theme for the 2007 and 2008 World Diabetes Day campaign is “Diabetes in Children and Adolescents.” In an effort to raise awareness that children get diabetes and to highlight that No Child Should Die of Diabetes, the campaign made it a goal to double the number of children supported by the IDF Life for a Child Program. The goal for the Program in 2008 is to build sufficient capacity to support a further 500 children with diabetes. The World Diabetes Day campaign supports the program by giving proceeds of sales from all merchandize to Life for a Child. Help us to help children with diabetes to realize their potential by purchasing your blue circle diabetes pin, World Diabetes Day crayons and other merchandize at www.worlddiabetesday.org.
